With most MLB teams having their rosters set for 2014, (I guess) it's a good time to start projecting out the season. At least, that's what ClayDavenport.com did.

His projection for the Milwaukee Brewers...77-85, which will be good enough for 4th in the NL Central.

I would say #HullYes. Are they better than last year? On pair, a little bit. I still have questions about the rotation, the bullpen and first base. That is a lot of questions. If everything goes right, I think they compete for a Wild Card. If nothing changes, it could be a repeat of 2013.

Here are 10-thoughts that have crossed my mind in the near hour since the news came out:

1.) 4-years is too long for a guy who has started just 42-games in last 2-seasons.

2.) 4-years is too long for any MLB player over 30

3.) Brewers probably needed to dangle the 4th year to get him.

4.) Numbers are better than Suppan and Wolf at time of deal & overall better than Lohse. Lohse had better seasons right before coming to Milwaukee.

5.) The Brewers do not squander a draft pick. This I love.

6.) Garza gives the Brewers a respectable top 3 of the rotation.

7.) Would the Cardinals have made this deal? Probably not.

8.) When will the Brewers draft & develop a top of the rotation pitcher?

9.) 4-years is still to long...for any player, in my opinion.

10.) This move fits into my “Brewers are turning into the Bucks” feeling that has been developing in my mind that last couple years. Does Garza put them to a championship level or does he place a band-aid over a real issue that will help get them to .500 on a good year.

Good signing? Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. Any signing that works is a good one. Any signing that doesn’t is a bad one. If Garza lives up to his numbers and stays healthy it will be a good signing.

As a member of the NFL’s competition committee, Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy has his pulse on the latest rule changes being discussed. This week, the big topic around the league has been about eliminating the extra point and adding a Wild Card team to each league.

“That’s something we have looked at” Murphy said when asked about expanding the post season. “Right now of the 32 teams only 12 make it. I don’t think we want to get where, not to criticize other sports, but, it seems like everybody makes it. If we did the discussion would be one additional Wild Card team in each conference so it would still be less than 50% of the teams, 14 out of 32”

Murphy admitted he is in favor of this change.

“I would be in favor of it in the sense that it’s a way to add additional revenue.”

The tradeoff, as Murphy discussed, could be getting rid of a preseason game.

“If we could (add 2 Wild Card teams), and make changes in the preseason, maybe eliminate a preseason game, something along those lines, cause our preseason, really, is not of a high quality anymore. So, I think that trade off would be really positive for the fans.”

The other topic of the week has been the elimination of the extra point. Murphy confirmed that it has been talked about.

“Its gotten to a point where our kickers are so good that its almost automatic. I think this year there were 5 missed extra points out of over 1200 attempts.”

Murphy cited Justin Harrell's season-ending injury on an extra point in 2010 as an example of a risk that could be avoided if extra points were eliminated. Player safety has been a major concern for the NFL in recent years.

Murphy also commented on the offseason, recent ticket surveys and work on the atrium. Here is the whole conversation:

Everyone has seen it by now; Seattle CB Richard Sherman's post game interview with Fox's Erin Andrews. As soon as the 20-second Vince McMahon sytle promo was over, the twitterverse blew up with response.

If you missed it...

I get why some enjoyed the blunt honesty because we live in a day and age of cliche, scripted resoponses. This emotion is rare now. However, to me, he took it too far. There is a time and a place for everything. I did not think this was it.
